Historical background

The Yakovlev Yak-1 and Yak-3 fighters were a mainstay of Soviet aviation during World War II. Both models were used by the Soviet Union and other Allied countries, including France with the Normandie-Niemen Squadron. The aircraft entered service from 1941 onwards, and their role on the Eastern Front greatly contributed to the USSR’s air superiority over the Luftwaffe. Detailed landing gear replication allows for faithful reconstruction of models used in battles over Stalingrad or Kursk.
